Running Inspections Offline

Basics

In addition to running code inspections from the main menu, or from the context menus of the
Project tool window, you can also launch the inspector from the command line,
without actually running WebStorm.

This way you can perform regular code inspections as a part of your development process, which is especially
important for large projects. Inspection results are stored in the XML format.
